Insightful, Attentive, and Memorable
We had an amazing tour of the Giza Pyramids with Samy. He was incredibly kind and helpful, especially with my father who had some mobility issues. Samy assisted with negotiating the carriage price (1000 Egyptian pounds) and took fantastic photos of us.
He expertly explained the history of the three pyramids and the Step Pyramid of Djoser. His patience, attentiveness, and great ideas for photos made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend Samy for anyone visiting the pyramids!
Thank you, Samy!

Excellent half-day trip to Saqqara, Dahshur, Memphis
Excellent private trip to the pyramids and tombs at Saqqara and Dashour and the museum in Memphis. The guide was excellent all around and very kind. Driver was courteous and safe. All in all, a great experience.

Historical part of the tour was amazing (better than Giza imo) but please be clear about the shopping stops
As the title says. The tour was great in terms of learning about Egypt and its history. We (my tour guide Saeed and our driver) went to Dashur first as that opened the earliest. The red and bent pyramid were great, although be prepared for a physical challenge if you decide to climb into the bent pyramid.
Memphis was next, and although it was a quick stop, it was still pretty cool, especially the Statue of Rameses II.
After this we went to Saqqara. Again, this was great, and Saeed had a lot of knowledge of the sites and was very informative.
My problems lay with the shopping stops before and after Saqqara. This wasn't stated anywhere in the actual tour page, and if I'm being honest, it ruined the experience for me a little bit as I felt like I was being used for my money. They make you feel welcome and teach you how carpets and papyrus are made but then make you feel bad for not wanting to buy anything.
I just wish I was told BEFOREHAND (maybe on the actual tour page) that we'd be visiting these sights. The guide told me on the day as we were driving to them.
Also, we did not visit the Mastaba of Ti, which was included in the tour and looked quite nice.
Again, if there was no pit stop to the carpet school and papyrus factory, this would've been a 5/5 tour. But those 2 places ruined it for me.

Better Than The Giza Pyramids
We just hired a driver. Besides the stop at the carpet factory we didn't ask for (tour guides/driver get a part of the cut whenever the tourist buys something), it was phenomenal. The experience was 10x better than the Giza pyramids due to there being way fewer hustlers. The red and bent pyramids were particularly impressive. It was amazing to have the bent pyramid all to ourselves and to explore it at our own pace from the inside. The driver, Mohamed, was really great and was one of the nicest people we met in Egypt. The price is very reasonable too. Would highly recommend

Good tour of Sakkara and Dashur,
The Dashur and Sakkara pyramids themselves were awesome. The tour was so-so. I've done another tour with Emo Tours, and the guide was excellent. This guide acted a bit like running the tour was an inconvenience. Nonetheless, I saw everything promised, and I was given reasonable autonomy and ample time to explore. The tour served its purpose and was enjoyable overall. I wasn't pestered for tips or reviews by either the guide or the driver, which is a good thing all by itself. The museum in Memphis was a bit of an afterthought in the tour, but it added some diversity. I did the buffet lunch, and it was decent, good enough given the price.

Gran guía
Gran guía. Realmente la diferencia de tener una Buena experiencia en Egipto será por el guía que te toque y en nuestro caso fue sobresaliente.

I would recommend this half day tour to young and old
Exactly what was advertised. Van very comfortable and our guide very accommodating and knowledgeable. Very hot but the guide positioned the van so I (74yrs) could see my family walking and the actual sites

Tour Sakkara
Bellissima esperienza con Amr che ci ha mostrato le piramidi di Sakkara e Dahshur permettendoci di poter entrare dentro e vivere una esperienza completa. Ottimo anche il pranzo.

An unforgettable visit.
We loved this visit to three different places. During our visit our guide Aya was very friendly, always attentive and explained very well what we visited. The agency was very punctual with schedules and organization. Super recommended for your visits in Cairo.
